Power of the V-Card

In our business, we meet with a lot of people in their houses. We just purchased some internet based software to help with property management called PropertyBoss and wanted to be able to access it during these meetings. I made a couple phone calls to some tech friends to see what our options were.

First, we looked into using my business partner's blue tooth capabilities on his phone to connect to the internet. Due to our physical location, Charleston, SC, that was not a viable solution yet. Next, we looked into getting a Verizon Wireless PC Card. It sounded like it made sense so we went with it.

We pay $60/mo now and can log onto the internet anywhere we want. We have not only been using it for our business, I have really enjoyed having it with me and being able to jump on the internet at any time. The only place that it hasn't worked so far was on top of a mountain at Snowshoe, West Virginia. Don't know about you but I can deal with that.
